SUMMARY:Call for dissemination events
DESCRIPTION:We invite proposals to organise and host events that will demonstrate existing solutions and engage with possible new users. While the format of such events will depend on the audience and the type(s) of the solution to be presented\, we would envisage half-day events organised in and/or with NHS trusts\, charities\, patient groups\, policy bodies\, social media providers or any other stakeholders\, which would demonstrate tools\, successful case studies or impact that healthcare text mining have had for organisations\, patients or policy bodies. \n\nProposals should be submitted via a short forms to contact@healtex.org. \n\nThe budget per event is expected to be around £1\,200 and would cover travel for presenters and refreshments for participants. We encourage proposals to host their events within the venues of potential new users to make engagement easier; we therefore do not envisage large expenses for venue hire. Events should be organised in the first half of 2019. We will also consider several road-shows (similar events happening at several locations).\n\nDeadline for applications: 14th January 2019.\n

SUMMARY:Data governance standards for working with free-text data
DESCRIPTION:Free-text data held in healthcare records represent a vast\, untapped source of rich information to guide research and clinical care. Generally\, clinical data need to be de-identified before they can be used for secondary purposes such as audit and research\, but there are major challenges in finding effective methods that do not damage free-text data utility as a by-product.\n\nTexGov is a Healtex-funded project to work towards the creation of data governance standards to enable free-text data to be used safely for research for public benefit. We are running a dynamic and interactive workshop with a combination of presentations\, a panel discussion and group activities to take forward the work in this exciting area. The workshop will be in London on January 16th\, 2019. Come and share your expertise\, learn from others and be part of informing the developments.\n\nHealtex will help with travel expenses for those who would need it. \n\nPlease register on Eventbrite.\nMore details to follow shortly.\n\nVenue: Room LG01\, 222 Euston Road\, London.

SUMMARY:HealTAC 2019
DESCRIPTION:Following the exciting HealTAC 2018\, the UK healthcare text analytics network (Healtex) is organising the second conference in the series next April in Cardiff\, Wales.\n\nHealthcare narratives recorded in documents such as encounter notes\, discharge letters\, nurse handover notes\, imaging/pathology reports\, patient-generated data posts in surveys and social media\, etc. represent a key communication stream that contains the majority of actionable and contextualised information. Despite them being increasingly available in a digital form\, they are yet to be routinely analysed on a large scale. The conference aims to bring the academic\, healthcare\, industrial and patient communities together to explore the current state of the art and share best practice\, key results and common challenges.\n\nThe first call for contributions is now available\, inviting full and short papers\, posters\, demos and special sessions. The event will also provide a forum for PhD students and industrial partners to present their work. The conference will be subsidised by Healtex - so please start preparing you contributions! Here are the key dates:\n\n- Deadline for papers and special sessions/panels: January 21th\, 2019\n- Deadline for posters\, PhD forum and demo proposals: February 15th\, 2019\n- Notification of acceptance: February 22nd\, 2019\n- Conference: April 24th and 25th\, 2019\n\nPlease feel free to forward to your colleagues and collaborators.
